Helena Majeska was a renowned Polish actress who gained fame for her dramatic roles in the mid-1800s. Later in life, she immigrated to the United States and became a prominent actress in New York. Her connection to Four Brooks Farm stems from her close relationship with Richard Watson and Helena de Kay, who supported her career and brought influential circles, including those from Washington Heights, to her performances.

The farm’s historical archives include autographed cards, letters, and a signed photograph of Majeska in one of her most iconic roles. Additionally, Helena de Kay created a striking charcoal sketch of Majeska, which remains a cherished part of Four Brooks’ historical collection. This connection highlights the deep ties between the cultural and artistic circles of the time and the farm’s storied history.
